General Electrics FBV36TE070RV - 70 A, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Introducing the General Electrics FBV36TE070RV—a durable 70A, 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for panelboards and load centers. Built to provide a solid, long-term protection solution, this breaker helps keep electrical systems safe and uptime up when it matters most.

• Secure bolt-on mounting delivers a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection, minimizing connection movement and reducing the risk of arcing or loosening in environments with vibration or movement.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit combines thermal overload protection with instantaneous magnetic trip for fast, reliable responses to short circuits, delivering stable protection across varying loads and temperatures.
• OEM-compatible design aligns with matching General Electrics load centers and panelboards, making replacements straightforward and minimizing compatibility concerns during upgrades or service work.
• 3-pole configuration at 70A suited for three-phase circuits and mid-range branch protections commonly found in residential, commercial, and light industrial installations.
• Purpose-built for panelboards and load centers providing robust branch circuit protection and short-circuit containment in a compact molded-case format.

Why this matters for your electrical system: the FBV36TE070RV combines a secure mechanical fit with precise, predictable protective behavior. The bolt-on mounting reduces movement-induced wear, while the thermal-magnetic trip unit ensures dependable performance during surges and sustained overloads. Together, these features help maintain service continuity, protect wiring and devices, and simplify maintenance and future panel upgrades.

Ideal use cases
